QUIZ #5

Does anyone know if Quiz #5 is this week or next week? We have 2 lectures left and one quiz... In the schedule there is no reading listed for the lecture topics next week so I am assuming Quiz #5 is this week? I stopped by Felicia's office today to ask but she was in a meeting with Julie so I was unable to speak with her...

PDA Pow Wow

For anyone who has a PDA but isn't sure how to load skyscape programs onto it, I would like to plan for a day and time to get together and share tips and techniques. Some of us are more computer savvy than others and it would be great if we could all get together and help each other out. I will blog the second semester students as well to ask if they would be willing to meet with us too. I think the best day would be Thursdays after lecture, but if anyone has a better day/time in mind please give me your feedback. Thanks!

FIRE SAFETY CLASS DUE FEB 23

Does anyone know if there is a class coming up that's been preplanned? I seem to recall reading something about a class, but I can't remember details... If we are supposed to find one on our own, is this something we call the fire department for?

Cultural Presentation on The Homeless

I've heard one group is doing their cultural presentation on the homeless. FYI, there was an interesting article in the Lodi News Sentinel this past Saturday relating to a hospital van dumping a paraplegic homeless person in the Los Angeles area. Not only was this man homeless and a paraplegic but he had a colostomy bag and he did not have a wheel chair. So basically he was sliding along the sidewalk using his hands and the colostomy bag was trailing behind him . Very sad. I still have the article and would be happy to share. You can email me at hjamyers@yahoo.com if interested.
